Abstract
This paper presents the design, generation and implementation of the coordinating discrete event control code using Petri nets for an operating flexible manufacturing system. The automated production system controlled is a one sixth scale physical model of a shop which both performs machining operations and assembly. The system containing two different machining workstations with robotic loading and unloading, a robotic assembly workstation, a material movement system, and an automated storage and retrieval system. The paper provides a detailed description of the system and the network of computers controlling the components. A Petri net model of this system is constructed using bottom-up and top-down methods and modeling issues are discussed. A brief description of the realization of the net for supervisory control is given.
